A new milestone was reached in the world of western performance horses, as Crosby Ray Von—a standout 2022 blue roan filly—shattered records by selling for $1.7 million at the 2025 Triangle Horse Sales Old West Sale.
Pedigree Power
Bred and consigned by Broken Fence Ranch, Crosby Ray Von is the kind of once-in-a-lifetime prospect that turns heads on pedigree alone. She’s sired by Stevie Rey Von, the $420,000 NCHA Open Futurity Champion and $17.5 million sire, known for his exceptional offspring in the cutting pen.
On her dam’s side, she’s out of Ma Crosby SI 80, a daughter of Valiant Hero—a $31 million sire and AQHA racing icon. This pairing gives Crosby Ray Von a rare blend of cow sense and speed, making her a standout in both pedigree and potential.
Professionally started and developed at the renowned Relentless Remuda with Miles Baker and Trevor Brazile, Crosby Ray Von is already showing she has the presence, mind, and ability to dominate at the rope horse futurities—particularly in heading.
This is the kind of mare you build a whole program around,” said trainer Miles Baker. “She’s not just a good one—she’s the one. She’s going to leave her mark in and out of the arena.”
When the gavel dropped at the Triangle Horse Sale, Crosby Ray Von had not only topped the sale—but made history. Her final bid of $1.7 million sets a new record for the highest publicly sold western performance horse in history. Congratulations to Crackling J Ranch—Alan & Melessa Jones—on the purchase of Crosby Ray Von, securing a truly elite prospect.
What’s Next?
With training already underway and a world of futurity opportunities ahead, Crosby Ray Von is on a path to rewrite the leaderboard. From performance to breeding, this filly is poised to influence the industry for years to come.
Congratulations to Broken Fence Ranch, the Relentless Remuda, and all involved on this historic sale. The bar has been set for future generations.
